| Personally, I can be really generous with my scores. I have plenty of shows that are 7 and up and very rarely I give out shows below 5. I can still bring scores down depending on my enjoyability. For example, "Hamelin no Violin Hiki" started out as a 7 but as I kept on watching, I brought it down to 5. On the flip-side, "Koisuru Asteroid" started as a 7 and then pushed it up to 8 and same goes for "22/7". Personally, I do let a lot fly depending on how much I enjoy particular show. In regards of Death Note, I'm not really fond of the last couple of episodes of the Anime but still, it scored high 8. The only thing that I've ever given "1" was Neon Genesis Evangelion: End of Evangelion. So, where do you stand? Are you generous or are you harsh depending on you average score? |
 |
| I use "5" as the average score, so I'm neither generous nor harsh. |
 |
| I tried to avoid being generous especially with overrated shows. I don't know if I became soft scoring or started watching anime from other seasons cuz my mean score went from 5,20 to 5,35 in 1 year. |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| Pretty generous, though I'm rather easy to entertain, which is exactly the reason why I watch anime. It's gotta be pretty average/subpar to score below 7 for me personally. |
| I wouldn't call myself generous, but I always don't consider myself harsh. I don't rate down every single aspect of the anime like visuals, music, and etc. Like I can rate an anime a 10 even if I didn't like the intro or outro. I just rate based on my personal enjoyment of the show so I guess I would be somewhere towards the middle. |
| But all hentai and doujinshi receive a 7 unless it made an impact on me or if I enjoyed it that much |
| Depends. I have a mean score of 5.17 so mostly likely im both If I like very much to point I forgive the flaws or it's critically good then it would be in my S-Class 10/10 If I didn't find anything too spectacular at the same time I enjoyed well enough it would be 5/10 If I don't care for it or it's very boring and the flaws are very hard to ignore then it would be 3/10 If it's so bad, that possibly it can spiritually break me.... It would be 1/10 or it could join the unholy trinity in my 0/10 That's all there too it. |
| Generous, I rate considering what something is. I don't do the "It's a 3-minute anime, obviously it's a 4/10". If it's a good 3-minute anime I don't have a problem with rating it 10/10. |
 |
| My mean score is 8.53 You can conclude it yourself.. ._. XD |
 I'm starting to get embarrassed by my own forum signature line.. XD |
| Sometimes generous but other times way too harsh |
 |
| Can I be neither? I like to rate using the whole scale, the way it was meant to be used |
 |
| I would consider myself generous since I rate anime based on enjoyment. The lowest I ever gave an anime is a 4 and my mean score somewhere around a 7.44. |
 |
| I think I am technically generous because I don't rate the shows I drop and I have dropped about half the shows I watch. |
| Hunter x Hunter is a 1/10 |
| Very harsh to genres i hate. Somewhat generous to genres i like. |
 Try reading Spy x Family Manga ^_^ U will love it, i promise... |
| I think I'm generous, I try to be fair but it never works out well for me |
"Perfection is perception. For me, humanity's imperfections is what makes it perfect"  |
| I'm slightly generous. I take 7 as the baseline, then add or deduct points according to technical execution and/or my enjoyment of the show. However, because I'm not very picky about plot or genre, I tend to just watch the popular or highly rated stuff (since they are more likely to be worth the time spent watching them), which would naturally skew my scores higher. I don't mind a few minor issues here and there, so I'm perfectly alright handing out 8s and 9s if an anime is enjoyable or stylistic enough. Otherwise if a show is pretty normal and I like it, then it gets a 7. Perfect scores are reserved for shows that are really unique, high quality and/or made a significant impact to me. 5 and 6 are for shows that I think are decent but I didn't enjoy them as much compared to other series. Perhaps there were some flaws, or maybe I'm not the target audience. 4 or less are for shows that I think have serious flaws. Usually these are the ones that have me constantly questioning various aspects of the film, which breaks the immersion. Or they just bore me out of my mind. Sometimes a single series may have really good parts and really bad parts, in which case I average them out. Examples are Death Note, Erased and Yuu Yuu Hakusho. I also look through my list from time to time and adjust the scores, as my standards may have changed over time and a 7 now isn't the same as a 7 last month. Or perhaps some time after finishing a show I realise it may be better or worse than I thought at the time of rating. |
| I'm pretty generous, only reason my mean score is average is because I watch the crappy OVA's and specials of a lot of anime I like. |

| My mean Score: 6.65. I guess I considered myself a generous since I rate anime based on my enjoyment. |
 |
| I am generally generous, but not so much anymore. Two reasons for why I was generous: Users who are new give much higher scores. When I was new here, I only gave 8+, now I often give 6 or even 5. Users whom are selective, researching every possible option for shows to watch before choosing, also give higher scores. I like to research for hours before picking a show. |
| Generous Why? Because even if one anime had flaws id still gave it 10 score if im really enjoyed it and liked the ending. |

| Generous if they are the sequels of franchises I love and I feel too generous with hentai, although the majority of ones I've watched doesn't fit the criteria to be franchise ranked so that might be the cause, given its overall minutes length. I would say a hint of overall generous for the rest of the list, since I'm maybe thinking of trying to revise scores and lowering them. |

| I'll say I'm generous, because I don't give 1s no matter how bad the series is. |
| I think I'm fair, most of my scores are 4, 5 and 7 and I don't give a lot of ones and tens |

| I'm really generous. Don't know if it's just a coincidence for me to get a bunch of 10's in a row, but I guess that's how it works for me at the moment. Good = 10. Average-Satisfactory = Drop/On-hold. Bad = Drop. |
| I consider myself a generous scorer. I try to give my watched shows at least a 7, unless they really contain elements that disappoint me. Furthermore, my scores are relative, on basis of the genre involved, not absolute. I don't rate shows which I drop when it's because I am uninterested in the premise. |

| My Mean Score: 5.62 I guess judging by it I am a generous scorer. But personally I can rate a series low, not because its actually bad (boring, generic, repetitive). But at times out of spite. Meaning if something in an anime pisses me off. Even if the anime has been monumentally fantastic up until that point. If something pisses me off, I will rate it based on emotional impulse, rather than my own standards of what makes a series greate. |
 |
| Sometimes I'm a bit of both. My mean is 6.36, so I'm probably in the middle, though it'll go down the more I watch bad anime. I am a bit strict on what I give as a 10. |
| I'm very generous. But can also be petty and won't hesitate to give a 1. |

| I used to be generous with scores, but I'm being a fair and reasonable with my scores these days with enjoyment factor in. Although my mean score is 7.51 |
| I'm quite generous, my mean is above 7. I usually use the 7 for the anime/manga that have accomplished their objectives and have done what I expected from them. Anything below has been a bit underwhelming, and if it's 4 or less it means that I really didn't enjoy it. |
 |
| Quite generous. Perhaps even irrationally so at times. |
 This ground is soiled by those before me and their lies. I dare not look up for on me I feel their eyes |
| Pretty Generous, had even higher anime ratings before but realised that they are indeed too high and fixed them, I still give 10 to animes that truly are masterfully and beautifully done while also ignoring small things like bad fillers |
| i'm quite generous actually. i try to be as impartial and unbiased as possible but for shows that i really liked, i'll still end up giving it a 7 even if it deserves a 6 |

| I consider myself a generous scorer. Most of my rated titles are scored 6, 7, or 8, even though I try to take 5 as my baseline. At least half of my 6s or 7s could easily be a point or two lower. I think that my average will go lower as my number of watched titles increases. |
 |
| I consider what I thought of the anime. I choose the number with the same general associated meaning as my opinion. Voila. Nothing about fairness or harshness. :> |
| I’m pretty generous since i’ll generally give it a passable score if i don’t hate the anime with a passion. |
